Remote ISTE is still looking for help. We're in need of knowledgable people to explain and answer questions with the remote audience about posters, playgrounds, lounges, exhibits and/or student showcases (PeoPLES) on Tuesday, June 28.
We call these sessions: PeoPLES because they're about the "people" side of the conference.
We'll provide you with a 5-10 minute video of one of the areas and you would explain what it is and engage the remote audience in a Q&A on the topic. For exhibits, we can/will provide some exhibitors to talk about the floor.
Times are:
9:55 am Posters 11:40 am Lounges 1:25 pm Playgrounds 3:10 pm Exhibits 4:55 pm Student Showcases
Sessions are conducted in web conferencing (Adobe Connect) and there will be a host running the room, helping with questions, etc. Physically, you would participate in room 300 of the convention center.
Do you have 30 minutes (an hour with prep time, etc.) to spare with us on Tuesday? If so, which session or sessions would you prefer to lead?
I completely understand if your schedule is full. Anyone you care to suggest we contact? Call or email with questions.
